A member asked:

My son took a small sip of my large mcdonald size coke... that had less then a shot of rum in it, and he is 6 months old... will it hurt him?

Possibly: Infants or children exposed to ethanol can develop a significant low blood sugar reaction that might lead to hospitalization.While a sip may not do it you should avoid any such exposure in the future.

See below: That amount of exposure would not have caused any harm. However, you need to be more careful in the future.
